I am vegetarian and don’t take supplements. The only vitamin I’m deficient in is D, because I don’t go in the sun much. Has nothing to do with what I eat. I get everything I need from plants and legumes and grains.

Untappd. Helps me keep track of all the beers I’ve drank so I can remember if I liked them or not in the future! I also like seeing what new beers my friends have discovered so I can go try them myself.

“We’re expecting a baby” is fine. “We conceived a baby” would be fine. But “we’re pregnant” is ridiculous. A husband and wife don’t share a body. The wife is pregnant, the husband is an expectant father.

How? “Kingdom of the Crystal Skull” is one of the top five shittiest movies I’ve e we seen, but the first three Indiana Jones movies are still some of my favorites. I just pretend that fourth one doesn’t exist. If you don’t like this one, you can pretend it doesn’t exist! This movie existing doesn’t mean the first ones don’t! You’re not required to watch all Ghostbusters media at the same time! You are allowed to watch just the first movie or the second or the damn cartoon and ignore everything else! What a wonderful world we live in!

Lay on my back with a pillow angled against the headboard so that it just covers my eyes, and playing podcasts at a volume low enough that I can hear speaking but can’t quite make out the words. Straining to hear makes me fall asleep fast!

“Ready” has nothing to do with it. I don’t want kids. I use birth control. If my birth control happened to fail, I’d get an abortion. I don’t want a tubal ligation because birth control has worked great for the last 15 years. My husband doesn’t want a vasectomy and I respect that because it’s his body.

“Unborn” makes no sense. Zombies are the “undead” because they were dead but now aren’t. Shoes are “untied” because they were tied and now they aren’t. “Unborn” would indicate that the baby was born and now isn’t.

If less than 10% of the class selects six points, then everyone gets what they selected. Those who chose two get two and those who chose six get six. The problem is that there are too many people who believe everyone else will “do the right thing” by selecting two, so they will get lucky and pick six. “Surely everyone else will pick two so that we all don’t get ZERO points, so it’s safe for ME to select six.”

Or perhaps we should teach everyone the three questions you ask yourself before you speak to someone: Is what I’m about to say kind? Is it true? Is it necessary? If the answer is no to any of those questions, keep your mouth shut.

I’ve never understood how you can know a baby that young needs glasses. I needed them probably from birth but didn’t get them til I was five and in kindergarten and the teacher noticed I couldn’t see the board.

I always like to think about Ginny meekly suggesting they name a kid after her dead brother and Harry saying, “No, goddamit! My dead parents and two teachers and a girl we went to school with are way more namesake worthy!”

In a cheese shop, I got a phone call from a man asking if we had Guri cheese. I had no idea what he was talking about and even asked the cheese buyer and she was at a loss as well. I told him we did not have Guri cheese and he said, “Maybe I’m pronouncing it wrong. It’s spelled G-U-R-Y-E.” And I said, “….Could it be Gruyere?” And he said, “Oh, that might be it. I need five pounds.”

While working at Barnes and Noble in the music department, a woman came in looking for a CD. My coworker proceeded to look it up, but I thought I remembered seeing it on a display in the back, so I went and got it and brought it to her. She grinned, said to me, “You little snot-nose!” and then punched me as hard as she possibly could in the shoulder. I guess this was her normal expression of joy, but I wish I’d had the balls to have just grabbed my arm and fall on the floor crying. I might have been able to go home early. Instead I stood there smiling at her through gritted teeth.

You could change your name any time you want. At 18, you could go get rid of the family name you don’t like. And then when you got married, you could change it again if you like. But you shouldn’t have to wait for marriage to dump a name you don’t like.

Hahahahahaha. There’s still some sexism involved in a woman changing her name when she marries, mostly in the form of people around her expecting her to do it and people being horrified at the idea of a man taking his wife’s last name because “that’s what the woman does!”
